O.K. now Rob Corddry of The Daily Show HAS Stepped over the line
With with his latest "I'm a Clueless Reporter" story on why fewer foreign tourist are coming to America.

Yes It will offend some here.

I thought it was very funny, and I hesitate to describe it. Let's just say, Jon's Rant, last week on that Politicians shouldn't "Go There" with the Hitler comparison, well they went there.

After interviewing traveling students at a NY Youth Hostel about why people "Hate America" (very heavily edited) and that Idiot Bo Diedel, he went there and tried to hail a cab as a "Typical Foreign Tourist."

Really, you don't want to laugh, but it's just too funny not to.

Plus, before that, They go into some FBI Documents that I hadn't heard about, that are very BAD. They are "putting our country in danger" bad.

Replay at 1:00am EDT

Oh, and Ringo Starr is the Guest:evilgrin:

5. So, you think Jon's Rant last week about not playing the...
...Nazi/Hitler card was a set up for this show?

9. Actually, I don't think it was.
But, on an unrelated note, I would like to say that given the history of the bush family (Prescott), the Nazi comparison is not unwarranted. And I say that because I believe they have not changed their modus operandi.

That piece still has me squirming. Very uncomfortable. I love TDS.

7. Your post is utterly devoid of content
Remember that there are other people in the world, and not everybody sees through your eyes. A little bit of actual description might be nice.

8. Excellent, then I achieved my goal, You have to remember, I see...
...this show 3 hours before the West Coast viewers, so I'm trying not to ruin the show for them, just trying to say,this was a good one not to miss.

But you're in luck, the Video is available at this post from "dzika"

The FBI Report from the New York Times that I hinted at is from this article which I posted to LBN a few hours ago:

http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/06/20/news/terror.php]

This TDS was a very difficult show to describe with out repelling viewers, It's best just to watch it.
